Locked out - Google's absurd security measures won't log me in in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

While that is true, I do not fall into that category. I let KeePassXC generate all my passwords and most of them are longer than 30 chars. I'm just simply tired of being forced. I believe I should have the say in how I want to secure my account. Not the companies.

As title says. I haven't used my Google account for more than 3 months. Prior to abandoning my Google account, I unlinked my phone number, deleted my recovery email, and logged out every device. I also never had 2FA TOTP setup.

Today I tried logging in and it won't let me. See video. Apparently, providing my login credentials doesn't prove that the account belongs to me. And no, I won't give them my phone number again to login.

I hate Google

You can't uninstall this software without being forced to participate in their survey (lemmy.world)

I initially only installed "Comodo Firewall" but for some reason they also installed a "Comodo Dragon Browser", which I did not consent to. I always choose the "advanced" installation to uncheck bloatware, but in this case there was none and when you try to uninstall the browser, they force you to participate in their survey otherwise you won't be able to uninstall the software..
